¶A.  Inventory Management 
 
EUM Program coordinator: 
Robert Norris, +381.11.306.4836, U.S. Embassy Belgrade, Kneza Milosa 
St. 50, Belgrade, Serbia 
 
Inventory System: 
DOJ/OPDAT and DOJ/ICITAP do not use an automated inventory system to 
record and track the distribution of resources provided to host 
government agencies.  Instead, detailed records on donated equipment 
i.e., specifications, serial numbers, dates of hand-over, etc., are 
used.  Transfer documents, designed and approved by the Republic of 
Serbia Ministry of Interior and the Embassy, are also used by 
DOJ/ICITAP and DOJ/OPDAT in support of this report. 
 
Staff member EUM Responsibilities: 
ICITAP used personal on-site inspection to monitor the end use of 
this equipment.  Two project advisors and a program assistant 
participated in the process.  The program assistant developed a 
detailed list of specifications for the donated equipment.  The 
Advisors visited the offices to inspect the equipment and its 
designated use.  Customs clearance was conducted by the recipient's 
representative with ICITAP's assistance.  There have been no changes 
in ICITAP's staff and End Use Monitoring responsibilities from 
¶2007. 
 
The OPDAT staff, during their regular visits and meetings at the 
offices of recipients, informally inspected the equipment and its 
designated use through discussions with host government officials on 
the status of donated equipment.  Also, OPDAT compared recipients' 
written or computerized records with its own records of donated 
equipment.
